GOLDEN Heavy Body Cobalt Titanate Green
Due to the pigment being discontinued by the manufacturer, GOLDEN has found it necessary to discontinue Heavy Body Cobalt Titanate Green (GD1143-…) effective October 31, 2010.
The abrupt discontinuation in Heavy Body will allow us to retain as much pigment as possible for use in the OPEN Acrylic line. Cobalt Titanate Green will remain available in the OPEN Acrylic product line for at least the next year.
For information about which Set-Ups will be affected by this change as well as recommended adjustments to those Set-Ups, please contact your MacPherson’s Sales Representative.
GOLDEN Working Artist Quarterly Profile
The GOLDEN Working Artists are professional artists who work for GOLDEN, introducing our products to customers all over the world. They conduct classes, give demonstrations, provide support at tradeshows, and are worldwide ambassadors for our company. Providing educational opportunities in specific geographical locations, they are a team of creative, enthusiastic, knowledgeable individuals who are central to our marketing efforts. Therefore, we thought it would be valuable for you to learn a bit more about each one of them. Every quarter we plan to give you an “inside look” at one of our Working Artists and their artwork.
Our first featured artist is Phil Garrett, South Carolina:
Phil Garrett completed his undergraduate work at the University of South Carolina, and the Honolulu Academy, studying under Gabor Peterdi. He received his BFA at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1974. His work is in numerous public and private collections, including the Bank of America, and the State Collections of South Carolina and Hawaii. He is represented by Hodges-Taylor Gallery, Charlotte, North Carolina, and IF ART Gallery in Columbia, South Carolina.
In his spare time, Phil can be found playing early blues, jazz and hokum on his mandolin and guitar in a band, The Fine Art Ramblers, which he describes as “a gracious joy.”
What he says about his art:
“My Work is informed by nature, a kind of mythical nature. The power of storms, the spiritual quality of the elements, the beauty, grace and ferocity of plants and animals…. Something greater than myself, something I can’t comprehend. Painting and making monotypes is my search for the mystery within the subject, within myself….”

All the White…
Do you continue to get questions from your customers about what to do with all the jars of white product on retail shelves? Well, we have a new resource that we think will help demystify some of the materials in our Gel Mediums product line. The link below will take you to the online GOLDEN Video Library. Once there, you will want to look for the video titled, “GOLDEN Gel Mediums Featuring Patti Brady.”
